Technical Difficulties

Hi guys. I have been experiencing minor technical difficulties. The city had power blips last night, and my computer was on for two of them. It is now unhappy with me. I'm going to defrag and do other maintenance things to see if it helps.


I got the draft of the book to Cathy. It was still a little short. I'm hoping (a) she doesn't think it's dreck and (b) she can beef it up. I am exhausted. I'm cauliflower. (When we reach the point that we're so exhausted we can't function we joke that we are approaching vegetative status -- where you sit and stare at nothing and can't form a coherent sentence. Bad is broccoli. Completely incoherent is cauliflower because it doesn't even have the energy to produce chlorophyl.)

Copy edits arrived on Howling Moon. I will need to look at them. But for 24 hours I am going to do stuff that requires absolutely no functioning brain cells. Because right now I'm down to two, and they're not on speaking terms.

I know I shouldn't push myself to this point. Bad, bad, Cie. But I did. It's done.

Toodles.

Your comment about the difference between broccoli and cauliflower is hysterical.

LOL! I've had those days too.
